How to install Arma 3?

How to change loadout on a rifleman?

Click "Edit Loadout," and then at the bottom, load in the loadout you created that matches the unit type. Apply your "medic" loadout to your "Combat Lifesaver," or the "anti tank" loadout to your "Rifleman (AT)." You can still tweak your loadouts, but unlike the Virtual Training, you can't test them.

How to choose mods for faction?

Note: When choosing mods to use, select the bare minimum. Each mod you use will be listed as a dependency for your faction, so if you want other people to use it, keeping the number of required mods to a minimum will help make it more attractive. Avoid using obscure or buggy mods; mods like CUP and the Red Hammer Studios are popular, stable, and offer high-quality models, animations and sounds. However, this should not keep you from using an obscure mod should your faction absolutely need it. Balance creativity with practicality.
